.US Domains

The dot US country-code TLD was introduced in 1985 and given to the United States of America, but it was available to the public in 2002. It is among the most widely used country-code extensions due to the fact that a great number of US businesses prefer to have a local domain and the US market is amongst the largest around the globe. A lot of institutions, agencies and local governments also used or still have second-, third- or even fourth-level .US domains along with their official .GOV domain names.

We are amongst the registrars offering .US registrations and your new domain will be working within a matter of minutes after you order it. The registration interval is between one and ten years and you can also transfer an already registered domain and we will renew it after the transfer is completed and the domain is registered on our end. Through our Hepsia Control Panel interface, you will have total control over your domain name – you can modify your contact information, to park your domain, to add custom DNS records, etc.

Solely US citizens, residents, organizations and business entities can obtain .US domains, so foreign entities are required to have a local presence, while individuals from other countries cannot book such domains. To carry into effect these requirements, the Registry that supervises the TLD – Neustar, performs arbitrary checks on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-specific top-level domain extension not to support Whois Privacy Protection, so the Registrant (owner) info will always be publicly visible upon a WHOIS check.
